NEUROSCIENCE and NEUROTECHNOLOGY PhD PROGRAM

http://nsnt.metu.edu.tr/en/

Neuroscience and Neurotechnology is a joint Ph.D. program conducted by  
Middle East Technical University (http://www.metu.edu.tr/) Graduate  
School of Natural and Applied Sciences (http://fbe.metu.edu.tr/), and  
Hacettepe University (https://www.hacettepe.edu.tr/) Institute of  
Neurological Sciences and Psychiatry  
(http://www.norbil.hacettepe.edu.tr/) in order to support joint  
research between basic/clinical neurological sciences and related  
technologies.
The target students for Neuroscience and Neurotechnology Ph.D. Program  
are the graduates of Faculty of Medicine and graduates of  
undergraduate and graduate programs of Faculties of Science and  
Engineering. The program brings together academicians with different  
basic science, engineering and medicine backgrounds as biology,  
physics, chemistry, mathematics, electric and electronics, computer,  
psychology, neurology, psychiatry to foster them possibilities  to do  
education and research together.

The aim of  education and research of the program is to focus :

?  to examine and understand ?nervous system,  its components and  
functions?, referring to structures and their organizations taking  
place in central and peripheral nervous system, including sensory  
nervous system, and extending from sub neuronal level to brain,  
together with their signals, behaviors, mechanics, dynamics and  
information processing properties

?  to use, improve and develop technologies to explain, represent and  
mimic nervous system, its components and functions

?  to use and develop technologies  that help observation, examination  
and analysis of nervous system, its components and functions or  
malfunctions for scientific and medical purposes

?  to use and develop technologies to repair, replace, enhance, assist  
and rehabilitate nervous system, its componens and functions,  by  
interacting with it, for healthcare and medical purposes

?  to use and develop intelligent and efficient technologies inspired  
from nervous system, its components and functions

?  to understand the psysiology and diseases of  nervous system by the  
use of advanced imaging technologies and to develope advanced analysis  
methods in accordance

?  to develope experimental and computational models for diseases of  
nervous system

Education language is English.
